*New World: Aeternum* is set to launch its highly anticipated *Season 7: The Season of Conquerors* tomorrow, bringing a wealth of new content, exciting features, and substantial improvements to the game. Players can expect fast-paced seasonal servers, new artifacts, seasonal rewards, a fresh Outpost Rush map, and a host of bug fixes and gameplay adjustments.
Seasonal Servers Bring PvP-Focused Challenges
One of the major highlights of this update is the introduction of *Seasonal Servers*—special ruleset servers designed for fast progression and unique gameplay experiences. The theme for this inaugural season is PvP, and as soon as players reach level 15 on these servers, they will be automatically flagged for PvP, creating an adrenaline-pumping environment where survival is key. These servers also feature exclusive gear, new resources, and special challenges, ensuring a fresh experience for those who venture into this high-risk, high-reward setup.
Additionally, any unique gear you acquire in these servers comes with a catch: if you die, the gear will drop, adding a level of danger and excitement to the gameplay. Players will have the opportunity to transfer their characters back to a permanent world at the end of the season, though any special items they’ve held onto will be swapped for equivalent gear on regular servers.
New Artifacts and Rewards Await
The update also brings the unveiling of new *artifacts*—items that add new build possibilities and enhance gameplay strategies. Two of these powerful artifacts will be available on the free seasonal reward track, while additional rewards can be unlocked through the premium track. With these new artifacts, players can experiment with new playstyles and unlock even more ways to customize their character's abilities.
New Events, Outpost Rush Map, and PvE Enhancements
Season 7 will feature a variety of in-game events, including the return of *Legacy of Crassus* and *Rabbit’s Revenge*, offering fresh challenges and rewards for participants. The *Coral Divide* is the latest addition to the Outpost Rush mode—a map with a central trench that splits the battlefield, creating new strategic opportunities for teams. NPCs populate the map, and players will need to build bridges and pathways to gain the upper hand in the battle.
PvE players will also find improvements in the *M3 Expeditions*, with a complete overhaul of end-game content. These changes include better loot, improved matchmaking, and unified mutations that allow players to use a single gear loadout across all M3 mutated expeditions. The team has also focused on addressing issues with AI movement, targeting mechanics, and interactions during expeditions, ensuring smoother gameplay and more engaging encounters.
Downtime and Final Preparations
With the release of such a large update, downtime is expected to begin around 5:00 a.m. Pacific time. Expect a wealth of improvements across all areas of the game, from combat to expeditions, Outpost Rush, and more. Full patch notes will be available to guide players through all the details of the update, ensuring that everyone is prepared for the exciting new content in *Season 7: The Season of Conquerors*.Come and play with us at u4gm!
